The Swan House Hotel by ylma

The service is good. The room is clean and spacious.

Amazing hotel and location. Hotel staff was nice and accommodating, and super friendly. The hotel location was downtown Reykjavík, and had plenty of parking and places to walk to within minutes for meals if you felt like eating out. However, my hotel room was actually a large sized Studio Apartment, equipped with a refrigerator and stovetop to cook your own meals. Which of course is what you will want to do in Reykjavik because it’s so expensive!! The Bonus supermarket is a 6 minute walk near the church, and also the marina approximately 6 minutes the opposite direction. Coffee, tea, a kettle and all of the sugar and creams you may need for morning coffee are provided, as well as the dishes and silverware for cooking and eating. I was also given a room with a balcony, and if I had so chosen I could have eaten outside. Too bad it was winter! There was no thermostat in the room, but surprisingly it was always the right temperature, and I was given an extra blanket just in case for my comfortable bed. I had an amazing stay, and will be staying here again when I return in the summer.

The staff was amazing- friendly and helpful. Self service laundry is a great perk to have at this hotel. They even provide the soap.

Great value for the price! The room was nicely decorated, comfortable and well-equipped. It definitely has the "hygge" touch to it, with tasteful minimal furnitures, warm blankets, soft cushions and pillows and nice lighting options. My room was located on the bottom floor and because the house is located on a very quiet street, the ground level didn't cause any trouble in terms of noise from the street - but I'd recommend higher floor rooms for privacy. Hotel in general was very quiet also. The fridge was occasionally making a high-pitch noise, like the fridges do, but having the kitchenette in the room was a very nice touch and it was useful. The people working at the reception - and I've encountered with at least 4 different people - were all very friendly and helpful and made my stay pleasant. I would especially like to thank the night receptionists with whom I had a pleasant midnight chat every evening when I returned. It was nicely located for Iceland Airwaves attending purpose, which takes place in centrally located venues. I'd definitely stay there again when I'm back in Reykjavik!

Perfect location in centre of Reykjavík. Easy access to lots of restaurants within 5 minutes walk for breakfast and dinner. Lovely , clean and very well presented. Useful kitchen with tea and coffee provided. Bus stop 14 5 minutes walk down the hill. Had a room with two single beds and a sofa bed. Good for family of four.
